Greece Approves €600 Million Purchase of Three C-390 Millennium Transport Aircraft to Replace U.S. C-130s

Greece has approved a €600 million procurement of three Embraer C-390 Millennium transport aircraft to replace its aging fleet of U.S.-made C-130 Hercules aircraft. The decision, reported by Army Recognition, marks a significant modernization of the Hellenic Air Force's tactical airlift capabilities. The C-390 Millennium, a twin-engine jet-powered transport, offers superior payload capacity, range, and speed compared to the older C-130s. The deal includes logistics support and training. This acquisition aligns with Greece's broader defense modernization efforts and reduces reliance on older U.S. platforms, while strengthening ties with Brazil, the aircraft's manufacturer. Deliveries are expected within the next few years.
